Admission from Gazelle: in addition to eating I have a minor obsession with the Bachelorette (not Ali specifically, just the franchise itself). This post about Helmand's amazing cream pudding is inspired by Ali's performance on tonight's Bachelorette.
With the guys dressing for the Cocktail Reception, Ali informed host Chris Harrison that there will be no reception because she has made up her mind on which guy she would no longer like to receive. (Sidebar spoiler alert: apparently winning an olive oil wrestling match against other men is no guarantee for future romantic spoils).
She told Chris we are going right to the Rose Ceremony. That's what I'm doing with my post - we are going right to the end, my other meals need not be described, as I'm in love with Helmand's Cream Pudding!
Don't get me wrong, this is all so hard, I mean all of my Helmand meals and the afghani meals of my eating club friends have changed my life in such profound ways and have all the qualities that many diners want in a four-course dinner but when you meet a dessert like this, you realize this is why you contribute to a food blog!
You can read a lot about Helman's kabobs and other entree dishes on yelp but not enough people praising their cream pudding. I would go there again just to get the cream pudding.
I don't need many paragraphs to convince you only this sentence - It's the perfect cross between creme brulee (a little too rich) and yogurt (a little too bland).
Next week...the most dramatic Eating Club post EVER!
